Petition: Establish a single, powerful, independent statutory regulator for all news media The Government must create a single, independent statutory regulator covering print, broadcast, and digital news media. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

The Creator arrived in my head then told me - and is still telling me - about his world.

The Creator is very popular. Very. Popular. The Seeker is shy and doesn't date often. The Writer is one of many with a thing for the Creator but doesn't completely enjoy the experience when he seduces her.

The Seeker has never flown anywhere and has only had a passport for less than five years.

None of my characters are in any form of organised force.

The Writer and the Seeker were tender and gentle. After everything the Seeker has been through there's only one way to go.

@sheonag.bsky.social I've found my first rhubarb soda of the trip.

The Creator and the Seeker wanted me to write myself into their tale. However, if I behaved like the Writer, I couldn't live with myself.

The arrival of the Seeker. The Creator found it changed his outlook completely.

The Creator is driven rather thsn disciplined.

Most of my locations are a mix of places I've visited.

@gingertotty.bsky.social this was posted elsewhere and I thought you might approve.

The Seeker has his guitar. Hardly a toy but dates from his childhood.

The Writer would say her skill with words.

The Creator welcomes new members of the team with "Welcome home. Welcome to the family." So he definitely thinks of his team as a safe and homely place to be.

All of mine, I reckon.

The Seeker is a 10. He's been on the receiving end of so many beatings that he now runs away at the first hint of violence.

With the Writer, what you see is what you get, friend or stranger. The Creator has a public persona, which is friendly and good natured. He can be a bit more temperamental in private.

'Leftwing' does not have to mean fiscally loose. "More open policies on migration and Europe and a fairer tax system would be economically “left” of the present government. But they would improve the public finances and reduce the deficit." Me in @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/7235...

Not that I can remember, no. General nature, gardens but nothinh specific.

Not sure if you saw this, my ursine friend russincheshire.substack.com/p/the-indisp...

The Seeker always answers that he's fine. Which he clearly isn't, but his mum taught him that was the polite answer. The Writer says she's surviving. The Creator would like to grunt and ignore such a ridiculous question but instead will give a non-committal answer and think no more of it.

Because "the migration debate" is all a distraction to cover for the super wealthy robbing us blind. It's all we ever talk about. We can never discuss how we make the country better for the normal folks, and they want it that way.

The Writer likes working in the shade.

@sheonag.bsky.social guess what...double booked seat reservation on the ICE. When we asked the guard what to do, we were bumped up to First class. Good old DB! 😏

The Seeker has a hatful of memories he'd rather not have. His brain refuses to let go of them though.

The Creator wears premium lifestyle brands. Cotton, with logo. Tees, polo shirts, chinos or cargoes. Sneakers or sometimes formal shoes. That's his uniform.

The Writer was a competitive swimmer in her youth, so quite a while.

No pan characters. I only have three main characters anyway. The closest I have is the Writer, who has had female lovers but is currently enjoying the attention of both the Creator and the Seeker.

The Creator and the Seeker demanded I write myself into their story. But if I behaved like the Writer I couldn't live with myself. So yes and no.

The Creator is a womaniser. He can pick and choose his lovers from his fans and other celebrities. He likes a good sense of humor, someone who is comfortable with fame.

The Seeker would have purple guitar picks. The Writer would have green barrelled pens with green ink. The Creator would have orange handled paint brushes, maybe a whole range of art supplies.

The Writer would like to go back to California.

They're quite happy where they are, I think.

The Seeker has slept rough often. He may or may not have offered his services as a rent boy during those times.

The Creator has the best smile. Of course he would. Women swoon over it. Men trust him.

The Creator is aging gracefully. Very gracefully...

Found family of friends helping each other.

The Writer has mobility issues, so there is always the question of whether she can access anywhere. Places with limited space or steep stairs can be a problem for her.

The Creator would buy another bit of kit for the studio. The Writer would pay professionals to finish renovating her place. The Seeker would open a new bank account, pay it in and leave it earning interest. He's never had money so has no clue what to spend it on.

No hope of winning that bunch. They'll vote for their man of the people or maybe for "Tommy Ten-Names" as I've heard him called. But never Labour.

Burnham wouldn't get my vote by backing Mahmood. Absolutely not.
